Electrical switchgear

An electrical switchgear, comprising:

• a thermal trip, and an electromagnetic trip;
• a switching mechanism with a latching point;
• at least one contact point which is continuously opened or closed by means of the switching mechanism;
• an operating handle which is connected to one end of a lug by a coupling element and another end of the lug which is coupled to a contact base carrying a moving contact member;
• a latch lever which, together with a rotatably supported trip lever that interacts with the electromagnetic trip and the thermal trip, forms the latching point,
• wherein the trip lever includes an axle, a first arm, and a second arm, the first arm extending from the axle in a direction towards the latch lever and the second arm extends from the axle in a direction towards the electromagnetic trip and the thermal trip, the first arm having a recess that mates with a nose of the latch lever to form the latching point,
• wherein the contact base for the moving contact member is located between the thermal trip and the electromagnetic trip, and
• wherein the thermal trip is coupled to the trip lever by a connecting rod that passes over the contact base, so that both the thermal trip and the electromagnetic trip open the latching point in an event of an excess current and/or short circuit current.
